ABSTRACT:
A tank suitable for use as a fish tank having glass bottom and side walls with V-shaped brace members mounted in the bottom of the tank to extend transversely thereacross between opposed ones of the tank's side walls. The V-shaped braces are formed by a pair of planar support members joined together in a watertight seal along their upper disposed edges and are symmetrically constructed about the vertical axis. The planar support members are secured on their ends to the tank opposed side walls to extend upwardly from the tank bottom to a selected height below the tank's designed water surface level but above the water depth at which water pressure in the tank would otherwise break the opposed glass side walls. The V-shaped braces further define voids in the tank bottom suitable for use for decorative purposes and also function to divide the ground or bottom area of the fish tank into separate zones so as to reduce the tendency of fights between dominant fish during mating season. The tank is arranged to receive insertable partition members which cooperate with the V-shaped braces in segregating one portion of the tank from another.
